Most animals aren't. It is believed that the animals painted on cave walls were painted there as part of rituals intended to secure a successful hunt, or to celebrate successful hunts.

Is tenant required to repaint walls they painted after four years?

Check your original rental agreement. If it states the apartment must be in the original state (less wear and tear) then yes. If you have used a colour that is unusual, a deep shade or basically anything but "apartment beige" then most likely yes. If however you acquired the landlord's permission before painting, and there was no rider stating you had to return the walls to their original colour, then no. If the colours you painted the walls fall under the "commonly used apartment" colours and they are in passably good shape, then no.
